* You will not see your brother 's ox or his sheep go astray , and hide yourself from them : you will surely bring them again to your brother . * And if your brother is not near to you , or if you don 't know him , then you will bring it home to your house , and it will be with you until your brother seeks after it , and you will restore it to him . * And so you will do with his donkey ; and so you will do with his garment ; and so you will do with every lost thing of your brother 's , which he has lost , and you have found : you may not hide yourself . * You will not see your brother 's donkey or his ox fallen down by the way , and hide yourself from them : you will surely help him to lift them up again . * A woman will not wear that which pertains to a man , neither will a man put on a woman 's garment ; for whoever does these things is disgusting to Yahweh your God . * If a bird 's nest chance to be before you in the way , in any tree or on the ground , with young ones or eggs , and the dam sitting on the young , or on the eggs , you will not take the dam with the young : * you will surely let the dam go , but the young you may take to yourself ; that it may be well with you , and that you may prolong your days . * When you build a new house , then you will make a battlement for your roof , that you do not bring blood on your house , if any man falls from there . * You will not sow your vineyard with two kinds of seed , or else the whole fruit will be forfeited , the seed which you have sown , and the increase of the vineyard . * You will not plow with an ox and a donkey together . * You will not wear a mingled stuff , wool and linen together . * You will make yourself fringes on the four borders of your vesture , with which you cover yourself . * If any man takes a wife , and goes in to her , and hates her , * and lays shameful things to her charge , and brings up an evil name on her , and says , I took this woman , and when I came near to her , I didn 't find in her the tokens of virginity ; * then will the father of the damsel , and her mother , take and bring forth the tokens of the damsel 's virginity to the elders of the city in the gate ; * and the damsel 's father will say to the elders , I gave my daughter to this man as wife , and he hates her ; * and , look , he has laid shameful things [to her charge ], saying , I didn 't find in your daughter the tokens of virginity ; and yet these are the tokens of my daughter 's virginity . And they will spread the garment before the elders of the city . * And the elders of that city will take the man and chastise him ; * and they will fine him a hundred [shekels ] of silver , and give them to the father of the damsel , because he has brought up an evil name on a virgin of Israel : and she will be his wife ; he may not put her away all his days . * But if this thing is true , that the tokens of virginity were not found in the damsel ; * then they will bring out the damsel to the door of her father 's house , and the men of her city will stone her to death with stones , because she has wrought folly in Israel , by prostituting in her father 's house : so you will put away the evil from the midst of you . * If a man is found lying with a woman married to a husband , then they will die , both of them , the man who lay with the woman , and the woman : so you will put away the evil from Israel . * If there is a damsel who is a virgin betrothed to a husband , and a man finds her in the city , and lies with her ; * then you (note :){+}(:note ) will bring them both out to the gate of that city , and you {+} will stone them to death with stones ; the damsel , because she didn 't cry , being in the city ; and the man , because he has humbled his fellow man 's wife : so you will put away the evil from the midst of you . * But if the man finds the damsel who is betrothed in the field , and the man forces her , and lies with her ; then only the man who lays with her will die : * but to the damsel you will do nothing ; there is in the damsel no sin worthy of death : for as when a man rises against his fellow man , and slays him , even so is this matter ; * for he found her in the field , the betrothed damsel cried , and there was none to save her . * If a man finds a damsel who is a virgin , who is not betrothed , and lays hold on her , and lies with her , and they are found ; * then the man who lays with her will give to the damsel 's father fifty [shekels ] of silver , and she will be his wife , because he has humbled her ; he may not put her away all his days . * A man will not take his father 's wife , and will not uncover his father 's skirt .
